Doors and Windows
There’s good news and bad news. Bad news first. I won’t be running in the marathon for which I registered. Unbelievably, I was one of the 23% randomly NOT picked. My son, who had also hoped to run the race, did not make the lottery cut either. We’ve been commiserating over the disappointing news, and feeling a bit glum.
But wait. The good news. I found a door for the play! It doesn’t have a doorjamb, and it’s covered with graffiti from a previous production, but paint works wonders. It’s a door that opens and closes, and that’s all it needs to do. I stressed uselessly over that door for days, so I am very much relieved! Opening night is just a couple of weeks away.
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “When God closes a door, he opens a window.” Regrettably, my marathon door closed, and I won’t be running in St. George this fall. But instead of a mere window opening for me elsewhere, I got a whole door! It was just what I wanted and needed for the play. And as far as the marathon, I’m hopeful a window of opportunity will open for me soon in some other long run.
